Census and NOAA figures for the city of Scottsdale in Maricopa County, not the metro, with a source for each.
The median home in the city of Scottsdale was built in 1991, newer than the U.S. median of 1980 and about the same as the Arizona median of 1992.1 Most of Scottsdale's housing is recent: only 29% of units predate 1980 (U.S. 50%) and 12% were built since 2010.1 Owner-occupied and rented homes in Scottsdale are of similar age: median build years 1990 and 1992.1 Scottsdale has a mixed housing stock: 52% detached houses, 12% attached or townhouse units and 29% in buildings of five or more units.1
67% of occupied homes in Scottsdale are owner-occupied (67% statewide).1 The median owner-occupied home in Scottsdale is valued at $789,800 (ACS), above the Arizona median of $394,500.1 Home values above the state median tend to support fuller scopes; the written scope should still separate must-do from nice-to-have. Freezing nights are rare: the nearest NOAA station (Scottsdale Muni Ap) averages 2.9 nights a year at or below 32°F.2,3 With few freezing nights, water and sun rather than ice are what exterior details are built against.
Heat is the governing season: about 161 days a year reach 90°F and 93 reach 100°F.2,3 A long hot season shortens the life of roofing, sealants and garage-door electronics, and it shapes what a contractor specifies. The climate is arid: annual precipitation is only about 9 inches.2,3 Low rainfall shifts the wear to UV and heat, which age finishes and sealants.
Cooling dominates the year: about 4,170 cooling degree days against 1,139 heating degree days (base 65°F).2,3 In a cooling-led climate, attic ventilation, duct sealing and window solar gain are where the energy code concentrates. Scottsdale sits in IECC climate zone 2B (Hot-Dry).4 Building permits in Scottsdale are normally issued by the city building department.5,6
